Chapter 126 Export Porcelain

"Fatty, why are you here too?"

Seeing that Li Dun'er was there, Hao Huai knew that it was the chicken man who called him, but he was still worried about the wound on his stomach.

"Haha, the chicken said there is something wrong, can I delay it?" Li Dun'er heard Hao Huai ask her to go back to the hospital quickly, and reached out and patted her round belly hard, laughed and said, "Old Huai, I'm getting better. I've been raising it for more than half a month, and I've been suffocated. You can let me have some breath."

Hao smiled wickedly, and did not urge Li Dun'er to go back to recuperate, but the two big bamboo baskets at the door really made him unable to guess what was going on. Of course, even if Li Dun'er is safe and sound, it would not be possible to use this thing to exercise.

Li Dun'er carefully looked at the left and right, especially the shop opposite Zhen Xiaoren, and then said to Hao Huai: "Brother Bad, let's talk inside, it's inconvenient outside."

Hao Huai naturally understood the meaning of the chicken man, and then immediately let the shadow push himself into the store. On the sofa in the store was a middle-aged man in his fifties and muddy, and he looked like a typical honest farmer.

"Is this he?"

When Hao Huai was just talking, the farmer also saw him. He just heard the little chicken man telling the boss to come over, and he also saw that Hao Huai was the boss. Then he stood up quickly, looking a little detained, perhaps because his clothes were too dirty.

"You do it, don't have to stand up." Hao Huai smiled politely and asked the young man in the store to pour water and hand over cigarettes. This is naturally a way to do business.

Hao Huai took advantage of the young man and the man's attentiveness and whispered to the chicken man: "Did you come to ship the goods?"

"Old bad, you are still smart enough. If you didn't have a big customer, Xiao Ji would make the decision alone, and you could call me and you."

As Li Dun'er spoke, she took out a small porcelain plate with white background from behind, which looked like a tableware, and the pattern on it was even more interesting, it was obviously a foreign woman.

Hao Huai wondered why the "foreign devils" pattern appeared on Chinese porcelain, but he was about to use his hand to pick it up when the shadow spoke.

“Export porcelain.”

Hao Huai heard the term "export porcelain?" for the first time, he didn't know whether it was the name of a kind of porcelain or what it was.

The shadow saw Hao Huai’s questions and spoke up about the history of export porcelain he knew.

When talking about "export porcelain", we must first mention the word "china" in English. In fact, everyone is very clear about this. It is the English name of our country. Of course, he has another explanation, that is, "porcelain".

The exquisite Chinese porcelain not only conquered the Chinese people in ancient times, but also won the praise of people from all over the world. Therefore, English-speaking countries simply regarded "porcelain" as a synonym for our country, and our country has also won the reputation of "porcelain country".

As one of the precious historical heritages of the Chinese nation, Chinese porcelain was invented more than a thousand years earlier than the foreign porcelain firing technology. It has been exported to foreign countries since the Tang Dynasty, such as exporting to the then "North Korea", "Barcnaire Island Country", "Philippines", "Thailand", "India", "Iran", "Iraq", "Egypt" and "East Africa".

After the 14th century, Chinese porcelain was sold all over the world. In ancient my country, there were two ways to export porcelain by land and water. Among them, water transportation was divided into Southeast Asia, West Asia and East Africa.

Land transports porcelain mainly through the ancient "Silk Road", and the "Persia" located in western Asia, which is now "Iran", is one of the transit stations.

The history of cultural exchanges and trade between China and Iran has a long history, and it began more than two thousand years ago. From the 7th century AD, Chinese porcelain has been transported along this ancient road along the ancient road to the West.

During the "Mughal Empire" period in India, there was a beautiful legend: the king collected a beautiful Chinese porcelain plate, which was accidentally broken by the manager one day.

The manager knew how much foreigners liked the plate, so he didn't dare to be careless and secretly sent someone to China to buy the same porcelain plate for the purpose of handing over the board. Soon, two years passed, but the sent people did not return for a long time.

The king finally discovered that his beloved thing was broken. In a rage, he beat the manager and confiscated all his property. Later, the emperor decided to return a quarter of his confiscated property and gave him five thousand li to him, asking him to go abroad to find similar porcelain plates. If he couldn't find it, he would not be allowed to return to China.

After many difficulties and dangers, this man finally found a similar plate with the Persian king, and spent a huge sum of money to convince the Persian king to sell the plate to him. Only then was he able to return to his country and reunite with his family.

It is said that this king is the very famous "Emperor Abbas" in Indian history. He has a hobby, which is that he particularly likes Chinese porcelain. As long as it is a relatively high-end Chinese porcelain, he must get it.

After "Emperor Abbas" ascended the throne, as national strength increased and trade with China continued to expand, a large amount of exquisite Chinese porcelain fell into his hands.

"Emperor Abbas" built a Chinese porcelain exhibition hall in Alderbiel and placed more than a thousand Chinese porcelains he had treasured there. Interestingly, he engraved the Arabic "Abbas, the noble and sacred slave, dedicated to Shafawei Temple" at the bottom of each porcelain.

The main way to export Chinese porcelain is of course the "ceramic road" at sea. According to historical records, since the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese government has set up maritime departments in Guangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou and other places to specialize in foreign trade.

In recent years, a large number of Chinese porcelain has been found in Kossel near the Red Sea, Thebes, Kuft in the upper reaches of the Nile, and the Fosta ruins near Cairo. Among them, the relics unearthed from the Fosta ruins are particularly rich, including not only "Tang Sancai" and "Yue Kiln Celadon", but also "Xing Kiln White Porcelain", "Yuan Blue and White Porcelain", "Changsha Kiln Celadon", etc., with more than 10,000 pieces of fragments alone.

The number of Chinese porcelain sold abroad in the Song Dynasty increased significantly, and the ceramic trade entered a prosperous period.

When Li Dun'er listened to Shadow's story, his eyes were big. He liked porcelain very much, but he was far less professional than Shadow's, which made him unable to help but speak: "My God, Shadow, why do you know these things so well, just like reciting textbooks?"

"Nothing? I said it out loud." Shadow said casually.

"Bad brother, I didn't expect that Shadow Sister is so awesome."

"Little Chicken, although you, Brother Li, I am not as powerful as a shadow, but I am still half a porcelain expert. I don't like to listen to you when you say this."

Shadow didn't finish his words. Seeing that he had stolen Li Dun'er's limelight, he stopped talking, but shook his head, making Li Dun'er continue to say nothing later.

Hao Huai likes antique knowledge very much, so he can't help but say to Li Dun'er: "Fatty, it's time for you to show off."
